That is the kind of thinking that ruined the Republican party and made Grover Norquist among the most powerful men in the country. Given your sig I can't see how you would go along with Grover and his tactics.
I don't remember titles that well. One of the things I like about Netflix is to know if I have viewed a title previously and if I liked it. See http://movielens.umn.edu/html/tour/index.html for an idea of what your friend should be doing.
My fiction intake: I enjoy movies on Netflix. The Daily Show and Colbert on Hulu.
My non-fiction intake: Documentaries on Netflix (almost all are streamable).
My news intake: I read my news. I find it amazing when I talk with people who get their "news" from TV, it's like we're from a different universe. I find TV news to be essentially fact free.
This wouldn't work if I liked watching sports. My take on sports: "I'm an American, we pay professionals to exercise for us while we watch".
Apple is the largest company, by market capitalization
By that argument, aren't GE, Exxon, and Walmart all bigger in IT than Apple?
Apple is not big in corporate IT; they are big in home/consumer devices. I work as a software developer at a major IT company. The only Apple products I see at work are the personal iPhones that employees carry. What this means in terms of the direction of standards is questionable.
In the last few years I've spent roughly as much on home IT hardware as my employer has for my use at work. For the first time ever, my personal dollars went primarily to Apple. Due to a beautiful UI being crafted on top of BSD, Android not being ready for prime time when I wanted a smart phone, and XP being overdue for a major overhaul when I needed a computer.
I think I'm done with my Apple binge. Android is ready, Apple laptops and desktops while nice, are overpriced. Apple has benefited greatly from Windows Vista/Windows 7 and Android product cycles.
A generation ago Microsoft was the "less evil" version of IBM. Look at how Microsoft knocking off IBM as the leader has made IBM a better company. Now Apple is doing the same thing to Microsoft.
In a generation will someone on Slashdot be pointing out the same similarity between Apple and Google?
In this case I think Apple is right to limit the demo to Safari, because at this point not even Chrome works for all the demos. I don't like everything that Apple does, but in this case what are they supposed to do? Due to no standard being set on video, no other browser will properly render the demos. I do question what the deal with the CSS is.
Remember, this page is a showcase of Apple's products based on the not completely baked HTML 5 standard - it is not a general HTML 5 showcase:
If we are to accept what you say then the following can't be true:
Standards aren't add-ons to the web. They are the web. And you can start using them today.
Standards aren't standards if they're not standard.
"The arbitrator said she should be entitled to go back to work after a 30-day suspension, but the City of West Allis complained that was not appropriate."
So the city sets up a kangaroo court, is displeased with the results and declares it moot? Generally those contracts where you agree to settle things by arbitration are set up so the big can crush the little with a minimum of effort.
What was the purpose of arbitration if "the city" can simply say it is displeased with the result. I like how the TFA makes it sound like this is a talking city.
Texas is living in the past. Responsible educators are no longer required to accept the dogma according to Texas. With print on demand, states or school districts can make their own textbooks.
If I was a state governor, I'd pay the faculty of my state universities create textbooks for my k-12 curriculum. Instead of paying royalties to large publishers, my faculty would be better paid.
Yes there have always been corrupt politicians from all parties. The difference is Tom Delay and the K street project institutionalized corruption. That's why the Republican party is going down so hard in this election.
Either that or the government is in worse condition than we know and and the republicans want to make sure there are no republicans anywhere near government for the next four years. I don't know how else to explain the terrible campaigns being run by all republicans this year.
Bush is a lame duck who will be out of office in 3 months. The Pardon will come in January. He will be out pending appeal in the mean time; no jail time will be served.
Republicans don't let Republicans go to jail. For example see Scooter Libby whose sentence commuted by Bush. Libby's commutation will be upgraded to a pardon before January 20.
Removing Sevens from office is the important effect.

Denver police went to a house that had been rented by the protest group Unconventional Denver as a convergence center, and despite seeing no illegal activity, two protesters were arrested, with one reportedly slammed on his head during the arrest.
By having a lower price, Dell is saying "We want you to buy a computer with Windows+crapware installed, and reformat the disk" or alternatively "Suckers will buy computers with Linux preinstalled". The OP was about a 2-way conversation between Dell and the consumer.
Biofuels are so last week. They contribute much more to global warming than fossil fuels. If they are made from corn, we take fossil fuels, turn them to fertilizer and diesel. Then burn them releasing the carbon into the atmosphere.
If we use grass or trees, we turn our forests and grasslands into deserts removing the very things that turn CO2 into O2.
Biofuels only exist because Iowa chooses the president of the united states.
He stresses system rescue CD. Ubuntu is live, and has partitioning software. I find no value in system rescue CD.
Step 8 - Resize your Windows partition by shrinking it to your desired size - Not enough information here. When you defrag your disk, you may find some unmovable files. To get around unmovable files:
Turn off virtual memory ControlPanel/System/Advanced/Performance/Advanced/ set virtual memory to 0 (you can set it back after partitioning).
Disable hibernation - ControlPanel/PowerOptions/Hibernate Uncheck Enable Hibernate. (you can reenable after resizing your partion).
What we used to do was similar. Say the script was "go", we would remap the keyboard to reverse the "g" and the "o" keys. The user would complain that that his script wouldn't run. Someone in the know would walk over to his computer and press the "og" keys, causing the "go" script to run and say "I don't have a problem, maybe it's you".
Obviously it wasn't "go", but I don't want to be labeled as an IT bully.
Trespass is exactly what is happening. But it is Monsanto that is guilty of trespass. Take the case of Percey Schmeiser, he planted non-GM seeds and Monsanto pollen trespassed onto his property. As a result he is unable to use his seeds anymore.
Monsanto pollen has clearly trespassed onto his property and taken his livelihood from him.
These detectives who go out to find unlicensed farmers are also trespassing (and stealing) when they enter someones land to take a sample to see if it is roundup ready.

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I've been on the fence about a Nook, this puts me over the fence. I want to contribute to B&N's war chest.
I'm looking at a B&W model, not color.

This is Google jettisoning a little bit of their evil.
Bottom line: The police don't need a warrant to place one on a car. They just need a warrant to get it back.
Yeah, their developer conference starts tomorrow. Go figure.
I tried working for those guys before.
They suck!

This is what I think is missing:

Now defrag your disk, then continue with step 8.What we used to do was similar. Say the script was "go", we would remap the keyboard to reverse the "g" and the "o" keys. The user would complain that that his script wouldn't run.
